By how well the model participates in implementing source code that passes
all tests, is clear and expressive, duplicates no behaviors, and has minimal
classes, methods, & lines.

The question of evaluating a model in isolation from code is useless. What
would you do if the model evaluated as wonderful but the resulting code
sucked? Is that a useful evaluation?

In which case why is it OO (meaning leveraging objects with polymorphic
methods behind narrow interfaces)?
